PATENT OFFICE- AARON CHAR-KEY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

Application filed September 27, 1923.. Serial No. 665,053.

.To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AARON QHARNEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chlca 0, in the county of Cook and State of Illmoia'have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gloves, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements 1n gloves and in the mode of manufacture and particularl to glove fourchettes.

One of t e im rtant objects of the invention' is the provision of a novel, 1mprov ed, continuous, one-piece fourchette, improving the glove structure by producin ia better fit,

with the hand, at the crotch etween fill", ers of the glove; overlying the back of the gers to improve their appearance and wearing qualities; providing convenient means for producing double tips to the finger ends; permitting the fourchette to be sewed-to the love fingers in one continuous operation an avoiding seams and wrinkles between the fingers at any place. Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to persons skilled in the art from a considera-.

tion of the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawp The drawings show a fabric-back leatherpalm working glove disclosing the invention. The invention is, however, not limited to 'this type of glove as it may be used in the construction of any sort of glove.

In the drawing Fig. 1 is a perspective elevation of a glove containing the invention showing the palm of the glove.

Fig. 2 is a similareview showing the back or rear of the glove.

, Fig. 3 is aplan view of the one-piece fourchette.

' Fi t is a broken away part of one loop of tEe fourc'hette showing, in perspective, the formation of the improved crotch portion.

In all the views the same reference characters are employed to indicate correspondin arts.

50 e fourchette in outline generally resembles a Maltese cross. It consists of four radially divergent loops 1' 2, 3 and 4, Each loop consists of two mem rs A B, C-D, E-F and G-H; one loop for each finger of'the glove; for instance, loop A-B is a part of the first finger 1 of a glove, C-D is a part of the second finger 2, and so on.

The two adjoining members of adjacent loops terminate in an internal point 5 and an angular vallfiv. 6 except terminal loop members A and These members are separated along a substantially radial line 7-8 to provide terminals A and H of the fourchette', one of which is a part of the first finger 1 of the glove and the other a part of the fourth finger 4 of the glove. Broken lines 9, between 5 and 6, show the improved angular crotch between the respective fingers of the glove. This line 9, when the fourchette constitutes a part of a glove, extends at an angle about forty-five degrees with the axis 0 the finger corresponding with the natural formation of the human hand.

The crotch 10 is more clearly shown in Fig. 4, and it is to be observed that when the glove is in a vertical position with the fingers pointing upwardly and the back of the glove facing the observer of the crotch between the fingers is above the part 12 thereof. This is due to the angular arts shown between lines 5 and 6 of the fourchette.

If the human hand he examined in the same manner it will be noted that the fourchette, as above described, corresponds closely with the hand formation and, therefore, there will be no wrinkles folds or fullthat the part 11 uses in the crotch which will lie smoothly .in contact' with the corresponding part of the hand.

It will be noticed thatthe seam edges of the fourchette are indicated by lower case reference letters a, b, 0, etc, as shown in'the plan view, Fig. 1, and that seam edges of the corresponding fourchette member are indicated by similar reference letters with the addition of the exponent rime as appears in the back view of t e glove as shown 1n Fig. 2.

The art A of the loop 1 forms the side fin er undary between the index finger.

an the thumb 13, and the art H forms the outer side boundary of the earth digit. The remaining six members B to G, inclusive, constitute ;the sidefinger boundaries of the intermediate fingers.

The use of a fourch'ette and the manner of insertion is too well understoodby love manufacturers to require specific exp anation. I

While I have shown a fourchette as if it consisted of one single, unjoined piece of material, I desire to be understood to mean that it maybe made of a single piece, 'or many pieces stitched or otherwise joined together, and fall within the meaning of the claims.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is 1 1. VA glove fourchette made in a continuous ons-piece strip formed into four angularly related s aced loops disposed insubstantially cruci orm shape resembling a loopsuniformly increasing in width toward the attached member of an adjacent loop,

each said pair terminating in aninternal point to form crotches, the other two members of the loop separated on a line substantially radial from the general center of'the structure to form fourchette terminals.

2. A fourchette made in a continuous onepiece structure comprising four spaced loops, one for each finger, generally converging toward a central point and separated between two adjacent loops to form. terminals. 1 In testimony whereof I hereunto subscribe my name AARON CHARNEY.
